If I'm understanding correctly, you are suggesting a method of: * Scoping the project, including features needed from the CMS * Mapping that to a (bug) tracking system, using the tracker to organize and prioritize the individual tasks * Opening submissions to the tracking system through a per-page comment gathering system that hooks in to the Fedora account system to It seems like a pretty thorough method. It's not necessarily overly much for this project, but it does require a fair amount of technical resources up front and throughout, where I'm not sure we have the people available.

Thanks for the endorsement etc. I reckon Drupal is pretty high on any list, these days. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
